Roos Tarryn Thomas to undergo behaviour training

Tarryn Thomas, a problematic utility, has the support of North Melbourne, who claim they will wait to determine their "next course of action" until the conclusion of the legal procedures. After being accused with threatening to distribute an intimate photograph, Thomas made headlines last month. During the Kangaroos' holiday break, he was pulled over by police in a separate incident while operating a vehicle with a suspended licence.More claims concerning Thomas' treatment of women have surfaced in the media this week. On Wednesday, North Melbourne president Sonja Hood sent an open letter to address the "severe and disturbing charges."Hood said the club took "allegations of threats of violence against women" extremely seriously but she did not go into specifics regarding the most recent charges.She also provided information on past and present club programmes implemented after Thomas' prior transgressions came to light."Tarryn and the club participated completely with those investigations," Hood said. "Taryn and the club were aware of the official claims made against Tarryn during 2022 that were examined by the AFL's Integrity Unit."Following these instances, "the AFL advised that Tarryn should pursue training and education to address his behavioural concerns."The club has since developed a significant and multi-layered programme for Tarryn to complete so he can meet North Melbourne's values and community expectations," the statement reads. "It includes respectful relationship education, working with psychologists, mentoring, peer support, and community outreach.""He has started working on this software, and we'll keep helping Tarryn get it done."Hood stated that the club and Thomas would fully comply if any additional inquiries were to be made as a result of the fresh material provided to the AFL or the police.Thomas is still need to appear in court on the charge that he threatened to publish an intimate photo.Before announcing its next line of action, the club will wait for the conclusion of the legal processes, subject to any additional investigations, Hood stated.Thomas, who is 22 years old, only participated in 10 AFL games for the Kangaroos last year before being cut from the senior team in June due to a lack of fitness.Thomas has appeared in 57 games for the Roos after being taken with the eighth overall choice in the national draught in 2018.
